3 years ago

A "Pitch Perfect" sequel has been confirmed. Universal Pictures says it's on board to produce a follow-up to the 2012 hit musical comedy. The new movie is slated to hit theaters in 2015.

Kay Cannon, the "30 Rock" writer who penned the original film, is set to write the screenplay, but none of the original cast members, which include Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow or Rebel Wilson, have been confirmed for the sequel as yet.

"Pitch Perfect's" theatrical run has brought in major profits for Universal. Made on a 17-million dollar budget, the movie brought in 112-million dollars worldwide. Its soundtrack has sold over 630-thousand copies and even spawned the single "Cups" from Kendrick.

The cast reunited on Sunday to help Rebel Wilson open the MTV Movie Awards in her role as host of the show.
